8vo, pp. 389. Original pictorial boards, lettered in red to front panel and spine. Illustrated dust jacket. offsetting to endpapers, leading edge of text block browned, a near fine, tight copy in a very good dust jacket with slight loss to corners and spine ends.

First edition of this collection of short stories featuring Professor Craig Kennedy, often cited as the American Sherlock Holmes. In Reeve's stories the accent is firmly on the procedural, and the use of new and emerging technology -- X-ray, graphology, blood sampling -- to solve crime.

A very well preserved copy.
